The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division has awarded a $46 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) contract to Sofx, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Charleston, South Carolina. This IDV is focused on the procurement of extreme cold weather jackets and related apparel to outfit U.S. military personnel. Sofx, Inc. has also been awarded an $8.1 million small business set-aside IDV specifically for extreme cold weather trousers. These IDV contracts provide a flexible framework for the DLA to efficiently obtain critical cold weather gear from Sofx as required to support military operations, with multiple firm-fixed price delivery orders issued against the IDVs to date. The original solicitation covered the acquisition of the Gen III Layer 6 Extreme Cold Weather Jackets in support of the Operational Camouflage Uniform, with a mix of small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides used. Deliveries under the IDV and task orders are destined for locations in Lansing, Michigan; Austin, Texas; and Pendergrass, Georgia.
Sofx, Inc. has demonstrated its capability to fulfill large-scale orders for extreme cold weather apparel, recently completing delivery orders for over 8,500 jackets or trousers per order. As a veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small business, Sofx has leveraged its socioeconomic status to secure these critical contracts with the DLA, solidifying its position as a key supplier of specialized military cold weather equipment to the U.S. armed forces.
